One of the things I'm enjoying about this little Ruckus project in the Song of Ice and Fire setting is coming up with all the House Words - "Aim True", "Green Grows The Wood" and now "The Sun Shines On Us". House Merryweather (properly Chulain-Merryweather) has an interesting and quite colourful coat of arms which was an interesting challenge to put on the longbowman, but I think the end result is quite solid.

Emmaline Merryweather (second from right) with her retainers - the longbowman's coat is a less fancy version of hers, with only one each of the sigils |

This angle shows you the green colour of Merryweather... |

...and this angle shows you the red and black of House Chulain |

I couldn't fit Emmaline's whole name on her base, so Merryweather it is! |
With the completion of Merryweather and her retainers, the whole Renly-aligned retinue of Ser Chulain is complete:

Next up, of course, are the dastardly Lannister/Baratheon forces loyal to King Joffrey I Baratheon:
These were originally being painted by an old friend of mine many years ago, so I'll be painting over a bunch of this I think. I don't have a herald for the loyalists, but I do have a standard bearer so I might do a banner that combines Joffrey's arms with the arm of the captain's House Banefort.

Another excellent blog! Superb painting with the sygils and I love the names you have chosen Wybert is inspired!
